8 Chapter 8 Emerald Green

With that, I scramble to my feet and leave my room. Wanting to see what the rest of the floor and Loki look like. The moment I step out into the lounge/kitchen, I find myself looking around and Tony really did make this floor magnificent. The lounge is warm and comforting, big sofa's with a flat screen tv and everything is shining. This place is designer. I can tell Tony spent a small fortune but it looks amazing. There is gigantic wall like window that shows a good view of New York and I can see the other doors to the library, the gym and the swimming pool. There is also a set of green doors which I know are Loki's but where is he?

I look towards the kitchen which again is amazing and beautiful. The tops are shiny marble and I can see the equipment Tony installed so that Jarvis could help me make dinner. But I'm barely focused on that as I look at the man plating up breakfast for two and I feel my jaw drop as I stare at him.

Loki.

He is beyond anything I could imagine and god he is handsome, gorgeous. He has long black hair that goes down to his shoulders with fair skin and these cheek bones that define his face. But it's his eyes that have me captured. They are emerald green like mine but they are memorizing and seem to be glowing. It takes a lot for me to stop looking at them as I look at the rest of him, admiring him.

His outfit is more complicated and you can tell its Asgardian. He's wearing this black top with bits of green fabric, black leather and golden plates embedded into it. All the materials I had felt before. His trousers are black and the same material as his top and he is wearing a jacket that finishes the outfit. Its black Asgardian leather with green and gold parts on it. But the sleeves are black with green fabric on the top and show off his muscles.

I find myself just staring at him, memorized by his appearance and he really is a god. He is so handsome. Finally I know what Loki looks like and I'm not disappointed in the slightest. I hoped he would be handsome and he is. I fell in love with due to his personality and now finally I can see him and he is perfect. I can't wait to tell him that I have my sight back and it's all thanks to him. The god I have been living with.

He finishes plating up breakfast which I notice is a full English and has poured orange juice for us both but hasn't noticed me yet. I force myself to move closer to him, unable to stop looking at him and then he finally notices I am here and smiles at me. Not able to tell from where I am standing that I can see.

"Katrina how did you sleep?" He asks me, using his green magic to clean up.

I force myself to speak as I move closer to him, "I slept brilliantly and honestly, a part of me thinks I am still dreaming."

He is about to say something but stops himself as he looks at me properly. He really looks at me and I can tell he has noticed that my eyes are no longer white as he looks shocked. Just as shocked as I was when I realised I wasn't blind anymore. He abandons the breakfast table and comes over to me until he is right in front of me.

Then Loki speaks, looking at me hopeful, "Can you…"

I nod, a smile dancing on my lips, "I can see you Loki. I'm not blind anymore."

He stares at me shocked before smiling brightly, "That's brilliant!!"

We both smile before he pulls me into a hug and I hug him back. He spins me around, making us both laugh and smile so brightly. I haven't been this happy in so long, not really and it's all thanks to Loki that I am. I need to tell him.

He puts me down and pulls away to look at my eyes, "Emerald green, just like mine."

I smile, "But yours are brighter."

He chuckles at that before he asks, "How the hell did you get your sight back? Believe me I am happy you can see but how? I thought you said it could never come back."

"That's what I thought." I tell him before explaining, "So after I recovered from the shock, I asked Jarvis to scan me to see how it was possible and… and my retina's had been healed… by magic."

Loki looks at me, wondering where I am getting at and then it hits him. His face goes pale and I can tell he figured it out. He figured out that last night he healed me and he is looking at me, waiting for me to confirm it like he can't believe it.

I nod my head, "You gave me back my sight Loki. You healed me."

He is beyond shocked and yet there is a smile on his lips and it makes me smile too.

"My magic must have healed your retina's after numbing your headaches." He looks at me, "I didn't even know I could do that."

I smile, "But you did. You gave me back the one thing I have wanted for the past 3 years and now I don't have to read braille books or go back to hospital or anything. I can live again and it's all thanks to you. Thank you Loki, you don't know how grateful I am."

This makes him smile brightly, "You are very welcome."

Then he hugs me and I hug him back before we go over to the table and eat breakfast. I can actually see what I am eating for once and it tastes amazing. However I find myself just looking at Loki who I can tell just like me, is still digesting what just happened as he still looks shocked but happy. Both of us not believing I got my sight back and its thanks to him that I do.

After eating, we go to do our normal morning routine but even though it's normal, it's different. Me and Loki are practicing magic in the gym, him teaching me like he always does except this time I can see all that I am doing. I can see my hands glowing gold as he teaches me to create elements as well as create illusion and practice other spells. It's so much more fun now that I can see it and we get lost with it. Both of us having a good time as we get lost in the magic and the amount of fun we are having. I almost don't want it to stop but Tony will be back soon and I want to surprise him. He doesn't even know yet that I'm not blind anymore.

We have moved into the lounge to have a drink and chill as we wait for Tony to arrive. He should be back any minute and I can't wait to see him. Surprise him. We both are sitting in the lounge as we wait, drinking cola but I can't stop fidgeting. I am not sure how my brother is going to react not just to Loki saving my life but to him also giving me my sight back. Maybe he will like him now or at least be nicer to him. Trust him. God knows how he would even react if I ever told him that I have fallen in love for him as well.

"Katrina? You ok?" Loki asks, looking at me worried.

I nod as I force myself to relax back in my seat next to him, "I am just worried. I have no idea how my brother is going to react when he finds out I can see."

He puts his arm around me, "I'm sure he will be happy like I am."

"Well hopefully after you saving my life and giving my sight back, he might actually like you." I say with a smile which makes him chuckle.

Loki smiles at me, "You really want him to like me?"

I nod, "Off course I do. Like I said, you mean a lot to me."

This makes him smile brightly and then I hear the lift moving and I pull away from Loki. Tony is here and I get up as I move closer to the lift. It dings and the door opens and Tony practically runs out of it, followed by Steve, Bruce, Clint and Nat. All of them look just like I remember except they look like they have been in a war zone.

Tony signs in relief as do they all when they see me and run over and Tony hugs me. All of them crowding around me.

"You scared me to death!" He says, hugging me tightly, "I have been so worried about you."

I roll my eyes as I hug him back, "You worry too much brother."

"Oh my god."

I look at Nat who has noticed my eyes and I smile at her, "I guessed you would notice first."

Instantly all my friends gasp in surprise as they notice my eyes and I wink at them. They are completely stunned and shocked. Tony pulls away confused at their expressions until he looks at me and his jaw drops. He stares at me like he can't believe it and I know he can't.

"You look like shit brother." I say with a smile, "Seriously what are you doing with your beard?"

His face is still blank as Bruce speaks up, "You… you can see us all?"

I nod as I look at their shocked expressions, "Yeah I can. I woke up this morning with my sight back."

"How?" Nat asks, hugging me.

I pull away from her before looking at Tony, "Well actually Loki gave me back my sight."

Their jaws drop again and I'm worried I have given them a heart attack as they are completely stunned. All of them begin looking at Loki who is still sat in the lounge watching us. Tony finally snaps out of his trance and looks at me again. Completely shocked and stunned, like he can't believe what he is hearing.

"Loki healed you?" Tony asks me, not believing it.

I nod, "I was having bad headaches last night and Loki used his magic to numb it so I could sleep. But he also healed my retinas and restored my sight. Its thank to him that I have my sight back."

"And he saved you from Hydra?" Steve asks me.

I nod again, "Yes he did."

They are completely frozen, stunned like they don't believe it but they know it's true. No doubt Jarvis has shown them the footage and they can see my eyes. They know it's true and watching them shocked and confused faces is quite amusing.

"I know you all hate Loki and you have your reasons. But he was mind controlled, forced to do what he did and he is a good man. He saved my life twice and gave me back my sight. You can't deny it now." I tell them, "I trust Loki with my life."

Finally Tony snaps out of his trance again and the shock and confusion in his face has faded away. Now he just looks so happy as he smiles at me before pulling me into another hug as the others seem to snap out of it too. They all begin hugging me, happy that I am ok and that I can see before they are all turn their attention back to Loki.

He is now standing by the sofa having heard my little speech and Tony goes over to him. We watch as he goes over to stand in front of him and the tension in the air is thick and worrying but my brother is still wearing a smile.

"I admit I never liked the idea of you staying here. I didn't trust you. But after everything you have done for my sister, it seems I misjudged you." He holds out his hand to him, "Thank you."

Loki takes his hand and they shake, "You're welcome but I was just helping my friend. And after what I did, you had every right to be wary of me."

"Maybe but I should have listened. Were you really mind controlled?"

Loki nods, his face pained, "Unfortunately I was and it took the Hulk I mean Bruce to snap me out of it."

Tony nods, seeming to accept it, "Then I guess I owe you a drink." Loki looks at him surprised as Tony says, "We are having drinks upstairs, a welcome back party sort of thing. Join us."

"I… I would be honoured." Loki whispers, still not believing it.

He then looks at me as he comes back over to me, "And you sister are coming too. We must celebrate you getting your sight back so get ready and both of you come up and join us. We are going to party!"

I smile, "Sounds great to me but seriously do something with your beard."

He chuckles at that before he hugs me again and then all of them leave, going back to the lift and up to their floors. I turn back to a shocked Loki who I can tell didn't expect that reaction from my brother. I go over to him as he leans on the edge of the sofa, his eyes staring into space. He snaps out of it when I reach him and he looks at me in awe.

"You constantly astound me." He says, still looking at me in awe, "You have defended me, given me a home and become my closest friend. And now it seems the people who hated me from the moment I came back here, accept me and it's all because of you."

I smile at him, "I told you I would always defend you."

He stands up properly, "Yeah but you have done a lot more than that. You have given me a home here and now it seems possibly multiple friends. I don't even know how to thank you for this."

"You don't need to. You saved my life twice, gave me a reason to keep living and then my sight back. Seriously Loki, you don't need to thank me." I say with a smile, trying not to blush.

He smiles, "Still thank you."

I chuckle, "Don't thank me yet. My brother's parties are known for being scandalous and it's going to get out of hand. Loads of drinks and loud music and maybe dancing depending on how bad it gets but I guess we will see. Once he peed in one of his suits and destroyed his place in Malibu."

He chuckles at this, "It sounds eventful."

"That's putting it lightly." I state, "Now I need to find a dress since by the sound of it, they are all dressing up and then we better go upstairs. He likes to start early."

He nods before kissing me my hand, "Then I shall leave you be Katrina."

I smile, knowing my cheeks have gone red before I go back to my bedroom to prepare myself for the party. I have a shower again before doing my hair and straightening it so it looks longer. Then I choose a dress and I find myself looking at an emerald green one that matches mine and Loki's eyes. It's a slim dress which would show off my curves and is quite flattering to my breasts and shimmers against the light. I know it's Loki colour and I think he would like it. This thought makes me smile as I feel my heart pounding and I know I like him but I have been holding back because I was blind. But I'm not anymore thanks to him so I guess I should try to impress him, get his attention.

In moments I am taking the dress of the hanger before putting it on and looking in the mirror, admiring myself. I look so beautiful and I find myself hoping that Loki likes it. There is a knock at my door and I go over to it before opening the door.
